Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has announced free rides for all public transport services operated by RapidKL for 30 days starting today.
The initiative is in conjunction with the launch of the MRT Putrajaya Line Phase 1.
He said the move will help Malaysians struggling with the rising cost of living.
This initiative covers MRT, LRT, BRT, KL Monorail, and RapidKL buses.
Ismail Sabri hoped this campaign would encourage more people to give public transport a chance.
He added that the Putrajaya MRT Line will spur economic growth along the route, specifically in Jinjang, Sungai Buloh, Kepong, and Bandar Sri Damansara.
“The MRT Putrajaya Line Phase 1 involves the route from Kwasa Damansara to Kampung Batu, while Phase 2, which is almost fully completed, involves the route from Kampung Batu to Putrajaya.
“The Phase 2 route will run across strategic areas including the Kuala Lumpur city centre with underground stations at Titiwangsa, Kuala Lumpur Hospital, Ampang Park, Persiaran KLCC, and Tun Razak Exchange (TRX),” he said.
Phase 2 of the Putrajaya MRT Line is expected to be completed next January, linking Sungai Buloh to Putrajaya by rail.
Both the Putrajaya and Kajang MRT projects were conceived during the Najib Abdul Razak administration.
